Dunstanburgh Castle – Once the largest castle in Northumberland, Dunstanburgh Castle now lies in ruin along the beautiful remote Northumbrian Coastline. Earl Thomas of Lancaster built it in 1313 as a symbol of the opposition to the King. The earl was beheaded before he ever got to see his own castle. Nevertheless, it has been used as a strategic stronghold throughout the civil war and most significantly in the War of the Roses where it was besieged twice by the Yorkist forces and left to decay
